My favorite video of yours!! As a massive HP fan & the numerous times I've watched them, I've only ever watched them from a book and entertainment perspective. So it was awesome hearing about my favorite series from a technical perspective. Thanks! John Williams for the win!
the first movies were fun, the later ones were a damn chore. ty for making it clear why that is and for these bits of information that you give that make me appreciate the work of a director even more 🙏👏
pps. since this was a children's movie, I thought the editing was perfect, yes there could have been more tension in some scenes, but how much tension should a kiddo endure? imagination imaaaaagination imagiiiinaaation 🎵😂
great analysis. i've always noticed that the first two movies are a lot calmer then the rest, but it never really bothered me, as this style gives you this picture book experience which is very close to the books (as you described).
This was a great watch! Captivating editing and insightful comments and examples. I agree the world building, casting and production design are all set up well, which Columbus deserves credit for. As you mention yourself, casting and collaboration with other crew members are important aspects of directing as well. The framing and blocking, while serviceable and occasionally creative in certain shots, is certainly a bit bland overall. The dutch angle shots in Chamber of Secrets are among the more creative ones while also adding to the creepy atmosphere. The colour grading, I think, is quite good and fitting for the plot in Chamber, especially the use of greens to represent evil, in addition to the Slytherin house. I'm excited to watch your future video essays about the other directors, particularly your take on Yates, who seems to have a slightly more restrained style than the other directors, for lack of a better word, seemingly leaning towards more static shots and staging in dialogue scenes. However what I find interesting is that his action scenes, on the other hand, are shot with the most dynamic handheld approach in the series.
For some reason I thought that you were gonna talk about the man himself Christopher Columbus, you know, Genoese, "discovered" America, invented colonialism. I was thinking, how the hell could he have possibly influenced the Harry Potter movies?
